According to the UK’s Telegraph, Hanoi – the capital of Vietnam – was ranked 1st in the list of World’s 16 Greatest Cities for food. The paper also cited, “If it’s good enough for Barack Obama … The US president was spotted enjoying 6 USD noodles with Anthony Bourdain in the Vietnamese capital on May 23. Clearly he’s well aware of the city’s culinary prowess”.

Bun Cha is one of popular Hanoi’s traditional dishes and well eaten with grilled fatty pork (cha) over a plate of white rice noodle (bun), together with fresh herbs and dish of dipping sauce/broth, which plays an important part in creating a unique flavor for Bun Cha. Normally, the dipping sauce is made up of fish sauce, vinegar and sugar, attributing to its sweet and sour taste. Particularly, many foreign tourists call this dish “BBQ Pork Noddles” as the pork is grilled. The best Bun Cha in Hanoi can be tasted at a stall along Hang Manh Street.
